David Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’ didn’t do much for me, but it was a big deal for Philip K. Dick.

- I’m reading about how this year’s Fantasia, like so many other film festivals, is shifting to take place online I wish them well, but can’t get excited by these virtual replacement events. What have your experiences been?
- For SciFinds, I check out ‘Warning from Space,’ an early Japanese #scifi #movie that is a lot better than most from that time.
- The TV adaptation of Iain M Banks’ #scifi Culture series has been cancelled which is probably a good thing because it’s one of those universes that would likely be hard to adapt for the small screen.
- The Chinese government has given the go ahead to more science fiction movies because it sees the #scifi genre as fitting into the Communist party’s broader ideological and technological goals.
- A new study adds credence to the theory that life on Earth may have been seeded by bacteria on Mars.

Didn’t like the movie? Read the novel by Walter Tevis. The novel made such an impression on my I started keeping my eye out for other books of his and the only one I found for many years was Mockingbird which I also loved. Haven’t read anything else of his since the early eighties. I did enjoy the movie but have not seen it years. Very eerie and moody so not for everyone. Would love to see it again someday.

I didn’t even know it was based on a book. I’ll have to keep my eye open for it. It has been a long time since I saw the movie so I may have a different impression if I watched it again today.
